I'm quite busy atm, so I leave one of my nominations here and will come back at 19th-20th

Discussion points :

Nidoking : Unranked >>> Somewhere

Mega Charizard X : B+ >>> A

Reasoning : Mega Charizard X virtually has little to no real counters in PBB. The only real counter is Unaware Quagsire, which still fails it is weakened. After getting a Dragon Dance, no Pokemon want to switch in to M-Char X. At +1, it 2HKOes almost every Pokemon in PBB. Conventional checks like Toxapex even loses to +1 Earthquake, a popular move for M-Char X in PBB meta (more common than Roost). Azumarill and Primarina are also 2HKOed by +1 Flare Blitz all the time no matter their defenses investment are. Even without boosting, both have a chance to be 2HKOed. Dugtrio cannot OHKO M-Char X. In turn, at +1, M-Char-X outspeeds and bring Dugtrio down to sash, and then KO it afterwards.

While setting up Dragon Dance is not always easy, it is not hard to pull of against defensive Pokemon. The drawback of M-Char X is that it will be worn down overtime. However, it is usually able to take down many Pokemon in a single game after Dragon Dance.

Choice Scarf, Tapu Fini and Landorus Therian are best answers to Mega Charizard X, which are not released in PBB. I want to move up to A because it definitely works better than other two Dragons, Dragonite and Garchomp.
